Frequently Asked Questions

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Punching?

Achievable tolerances for CNC Punching depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Punching holds hole-position repeatability to around ±0.10 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.

Can VT machining make custom parts to my drawing?

Yes. CNC Punching is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.

Does CNC Punching require dedicated tooling?

Punching uses programmable turret tooling; standard tools cover most patterns, with special tools added for unique forms.

What material thickness or size range suits CNC Punching?

Punching suits the material sheet roughly 0.5–6 mm thick, with clearance matched to the gauge.

What is CNC Punching and how is it done?

CNC Punching refers to cNC turret punching shears holes and form features in sheet metal using programmable tooling for fast, repeatable patterns. VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
